Module 4 of 8
Workflow build
Connect trigger, agent, and destination.
The mechanical part: something starts the run, the agent does its job, and the result goes somewhere. Build it end to end with dummy data before you connect anything live. Most first builds fail not on the reasoning but on the plumbing — a field name that does not match, a date format, an attachment that never arrives.
Log every run from the beginning, including the input, the decision and the output. You will need it in the next module, and retrofitting logging after something has gone wrong is how people end up unable to explain what their own automation did.
Takeaway
Build end to end on dummy data first, and log every run from day one — input, decision, output.
